What kind of future does God have
in store for planet earth? Through His
prophets God reveals many specific details
of how this world will be transformed in
the Kingdom of God. Notice a few prophecies
about the marvelous world God has
planned for us:
A world of unparalleled peace
". . . They shall beat their swords into
plowshares, and their spears into pruning
hooks; nation shall not lift up sword
against nation, neither shall they learn war
any more. But everyone shall sit under his
vine and under his fig tree, and no one
shall make them afraid . . ." (Micah 4:3-4).
"They shall not hurt nor destroy in
all My holy mountain, for the earth shall
be full of the knowledge of the LORD as
the waters cover the sea" (Isaiah 11:9).
Wild animals' nature
transformed
"The wolf also shall dwell with the
lamb, the leopard shall lie down with the
young goat, the calf and the young lion
and the fatling together; and a little child
shall lead them . . ." (Isaiah 11:6).
A world of agricultural abundance
"'Behold, the days are coming,' says
the LORD, 'when the plowman shall overtake
the reaper, and the treader of grapes
him who sows seed; the mountains shall
drip with sweet wine, and all the hills shall
flow with it . . . They shall build the waste
cities and inhabit them; they shall plant
vineyards and drink wine from them; they
shall also make gardens and eat fruit from
them'" (Amos 9:13-14).
